    Love that car. Just a suggestion, how about some 16" Hollywood flippers that they are starting to make repop to give it a real 40's look to it? Other than that PERFECT!

    My brother in law has a coupe just like that sitting in his garage he got given to him that he has yet to touch. And no, he won't sell it. I've tried and i'm family!

    That is simply beautiful! I'm currently working in a Buick of the same year/model and you may have just killed my motivation.

    Great job Brian, I remember when you first started working on it and have been looking forward to the finished pics. Stunning, that color is just right.

    Sweet ride. The car stopped me in my tracks at the show. I like the caddy caps in this application; their ribs work well with art deco touches of the grill and hood vents.

    Very nice. I would bet that the people parked next to it just hated you. If you don't mind what color is that? That's just about spot on for what I wanted to paint my coupe.

    Very nice color. Turned out great. Not a Cadillac, but a lovely LaSalle... ;)
